Shelburne Falls, MA, same as they are now, as you well know if you have
a Corvair. I'm not really missing the '65 turbo convertible body with
the 4-carb 140 motor swapped in I had for a few years. It was
interesting, but needed a great deal I didn't have time or money to give
it to be good. Especially in the salt-fest that is the northeastern US
in winter.

WRONG. Because that's where Larry and Marty and Doc were ordering
them from in bulk for their shops. I wasn't picky, whoever I was
closest to at the moment I picked up a spare for in the trunk - that
inevitably ended up pressed into service much sooner than expected.

And I suspect that Clarks, Cotrofeld and Corvair Underground were
all sourcing the same supplier, too. Because they ALL died till they
cycled through the old stock.
